Just got my SanDisk Extreme 45 MBs SDHC UHS1 card...I got the No Adverse Affects Hack 42 mbps hack on my GH2 and I tried it for 10 minutes in ETC mode, with shutter speed varying from 40 to 125, wobbled the camera all the time, of course mandatory shrub/trees...no issues...should I try something else, how do I crash test this card? Knowing that GH2 doesn't mess with UHS...

One fellow says he can't shoot video with this card, only photos, but he has the GH3...

While we wait, I'll take my batteries out, SDFormatter is ending the full format right now, so I'll take the card and just walk around with SH mode on, 125 shutter...

My subjective impression is that the burst mode is way quicker now. My old cards were SanDisk Ultra SDHC 30 MBs and Transcend 32 GB SDHC, don't know the speed, doesn't say...blue card with rainbow above the logo :) None of them crashed with the NAA hack at 42mbps.

Hope the new card doesn't crash. I don't want to go back to stock FW :)

Are realiable the Extreme/Extreme Plus @ 80mb/s for GH2 hack?

I tested 5 of my Sd cards, bought throughout last 2 years...all of them tested "The media is likely to be defective" and couple of KB in data lost. Whats the deal here?

hi unfortunatly my gh2 does not detect my sdhc card after eraseing ALL files (also erased files windows said could be vital for function of card think one was cache or something).i formated card afterwards with pc.it works in pc but gh2 says no card inserted.anyone got an idea how to fix it.unsed sd formatter but same thing. card is a 32 gig scandisk extreme hd video 30mbs.

Are the two preferred SD cards from the FAQ still the following?

SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC 95 MB/s, 32 GB
SanDisk Extreme Pro SDXC 95 MB/s, 64 GB

I'm still using the GH2, and finally want to get into hacking it. I just wanted to make sure that now that it is the end of 2014, there aren't any newer SD cards that would work better. Does the SDXC version still have the issues with the "file number limit exceeded" error? Hearing about that, I'm leaning towards the SDHC version, but 64GB would be nice.

Awesome, I'd love to see your results. Good to know that the SDXC "file number limit" issue may not be that widespread. If I'm going to buy an SD, I'd prefer to go with the 64GB size. I just wanted to make sure it didn't still have known downsides to the SDHC 32GB version.

@club_irate

They work ok :-)

@Magic815 I tested the Transcend card with 60 MB/s Write and 95 MB/s read, and it didn't work consistently on the hack setting I was using, which was Canis Skin Tones Soft. All the tests came back with a bitrate of 147Mb/s. The camera was able to do one 4 minute recording. Then I setup a different shot, and repeatedly it would stop after 5 seconds with an error regarding the SD card's write speed. So it may work with some of the hack settings, but for anything ~147 Mb/s and up, I wouldn't trust it for anything serious. (I was in fully manual mode, using a non-Panasonic lens that had no electronic connection to the camera.) I've read reviews that it handles the 100Mb/s mode on the GH4 just fine, so the card's capacity must be somewhere between 100-147 Mb/s.

I'm going back to using the gold standard for GH2 - the Sandisk 64GB 95MB/s. The price just dropped to $91 at B&H and Adorama.

Does anyone have experience with the new Sandisk Extreme 64GB (non-pro)?

On addressing a previous post on another thread (link below) on whether U3 64GB Extreme Pro 95mb/s will work with the GH2 the same as the U1 64GB Extreme Pro 95mb/s which have been available for a while, I got an answer from SanDisk about the query and, if it would work, then at what speed. Sadly enough, they still did not really address the question.

The answer really leaves us nowhere except to be in touch with Panasonic. I guess I can try that tomorrow...

Original thread where I placed the question and a small discussion followed:

Here is Sandisk's response:

"Dear ,

I understand that you would like to know if SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I Memory Card of 64GB is compatible with your Panasonic GH2 camera.

We have checked and found that your Panasonic camera is compatible with our card.

You were requested the speed specifications of the card, and as we discussed before this card is a UHS-I card. Seems that your camera is not recognizing the U1 speed as you mentioned and performance is lower than you expect we cannot guarantee you that the U3 speed will have a good performance on your camera. It may be work fine with your camera, but the highest speed is not guaranteed as requested.

The minimum speed that the card will perform is 10MB/s. You can see those specifications in the link below: Speed Ratings (performance) for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards

However, we would recommend contacting the manufacturer of your device for further information prior to proceeding with a purchase. Since from our side this card has been tested successfully and should be working normally with your camera and provide you a good speed performance.

For future reference, you can check SanDisk’s online Product Compatibility Tool; this application allows customers to verify if the SanDisk product that they intend on buying is indeed compatible with their device. The application also suggests all compatible products for a wide range of devices. That way you are always certain that the product you are about to purchase is compatible with your device.

We remain at your service for any additional information."

So, still no word on U3 compatbility.
